محمدُ هل جوادُكَ في الجيَّادِ

محمدُ هل جوادُكَ في الجيَّادِ

إِذا حصَلت إلاّ كالفُؤادِ

إِذا حصَلت إلاّ كالفُؤادِ

Muhammad, is your steed among the steeds,

Muhammad, is your steed among the steeds

when you take stock, anything but like the heart?

When you gain it, nothing like the heart

كأنَّ ضلوعهُ ممّا تعرّت

كأنَّ ضلوعهُ ممّا تعرّت

قِسىِّ وُترت يومَ الجلادِ

قِسىِّ وُترت يومَ الجلادِ

As though its ribs, from being laid bare,

As if its ribs from what was bared

were bows strung on the day of combat.

Became tough bowstrings on the day of battle
